What does my grinder need to fit the SpheroPlane?

The SpheroPlane is compatible with the Arbortech Power Carving Unit™ as well as any standard 115mm (4 1/2") or 125mm (5") angle grinder. However, when choosing an angle grinder to suit the blade, you should look for the following features:

- An auxiliary handle to ensure easier balance, manage and control. Using the handle when carving not only improves user comfort and visibility but increases user safety.
- On/Off switch to be positioned on the top or side
- 550 Watts power, at a minimum

Should have a spindle thread of:

- M14 (AUS and UK) |  M14 (Europe) | 5/8″ (North America)

The SpheroPlane can be used at a variable speed, corded or cordless grinder, as long as it runs at a speed of 9000 RPM or higher.

How big a sphere or bowl can I make?

There is no maximum size limit; however, for items exceeding approximately one metre in diameter, it is advisable to utilise the leveling guide for optimal results. This approach allows for achieving sizes of any dimension, even those measuring several metres across. The minimum ball so far is about 110 mm in diameter. 

Why are my cutters wearing out so quickly?

If you notice burn marks or that your cutters are wearing prematurely, this may be due to concentrated contact during use. We recommend flicking off any dust or dirt around the area. A quick clean should resolve the issue.
